Law clerks of the late
Senior Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Melvin T. Brunetti and the
University of California Hastings College of the Law have established the
“Judge Melvin Brunetti ‘64 Memorial Scholarship” honoring him, the Ninth
Circuit said yesterday.

Brunetti died Oct. 30 at
his home in Reno, Nev. He was 75.

The judge graduated from
law school at UC Hastings in 1964 and continued to support the school through
his career. After becoming a federal judge in 1985, he often selected UC
Hastings graduates to serve as his law clerks.

The school said
contributions to the new scholarship should be made by check payable to the
“Judge Melvin Brunetti ‘64 Memorial Scholarship.” Checks may be mailed to
Assistant Dean Jacqueline Ervin at Advancement & Communications, University
of California Hastings College of the Law, 200 McAllister Street, San Francisco, 94102.

Additional information
about the scholarship can be obtained by calling (415) 565-4832, the school
said.
